How to use the Exponential Growth Calculator

The Exponential Growth Calculator works out your final value, along with 1 related figure in an instant. Enter initial value, growth rate per period and number of periods and the result updates as you type — it is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser so your figures stay private.

  1. Enter the initial value.
  2. Enter the growth rate per period.
  3. Enter the number of periods.
  4. Read off your final value, together with total increase — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.

Formula

The Exponential Growth Calculator uses the formula:

Final value = Initial value × (1 + Growth rate per period ÷ 100)^(Number of periods)

Worked example

For example, with initial value of 1,000, growth rate per period of 5% and number of periods of 10, the final value is 1,628.89.

Inputs used
Initial value 1,000
Growth rate per period 5%
Number of periods 10
Results
Final value 1,628.89
Total increase 628.89

Frequently asked questions

Growth where a quantity increases by the same percentage each period, so the absolute increase gets larger over time. 1000 growing 5% for 10 periods becomes about 1629.

Final = initial × (1 + rate)^periods, where the rate is written as a decimal.

Linear growth adds a fixed amount each period; exponential growth multiplies by a fixed factor, so it accelerates.

Population, compound interest, viral spread and many natural and financial processes follow exponential growth.
